The City of Pensacola in Florida is home to a wooden cross that has stood its ground for over 75 years. (exodus, pray)

It's illegal and counter to the Constitution. The Constitution applies to everyone, not just Christians.

Though there are many here among us who feel that the bible is equal to or even above the words of Christ.

In fact many would rate it Bible number 1, Paul number 2 and Jesus a distant 3rd.

My comment was to clarify the record and offer contrast, not a personal attack. Thesis: antithesis; synthesis.

I would have no problem if they wanted to clean out the backyard, while I was on vacation.

By the way, there are plenty of religious statements on public land and in the hands of the public. Look at your damn money. All coins and bills have "In God We Trust" on them. If you don't like that, give them away or burn and melt them.

No mythical "law" (that you hint at) exists which will remove these statements. Nice try, but a fail.

"In God We Trust" only made it's appearance on US currency in 1957, during the height of the Cold War.

Previous to that, American currency bore the Latin phrase "E Pluribus Unim" - "Out of Many, One." This had been used since (circa) 1782.

I think it is far more inclusive.

Using the pronouns I, ME, WE, US and MINE usually come across as personal. Just the grammarian in me showing.

Kind of what Jesus did throughout His entire ministry huh?

Moving beyond theoretician, once engaged in the game, I don't point fingers as much as I may use self as referent for what others do. I have a broad base of experiential knowledge. Get in the game; don't sit on the sidelines. YRMV

Well if "In God We Trust" on money offends anyone I would advise them to send it to me. I like it.
